I am not sure, I either get distracted with the military and get very little or I forget about the military completly and get invaded.

I will have another go and try and make sure I finish though

. Could you tell me which turns the years represent though? in case I dont have calander as the time...
In the mean time I got a bit distracted making a
historical start for the Romans, the civs included are;
The Carthaginian Empire is a large and sprawling trading empire; few troops but a strong navy and possible mercenaries.
Greece represents the loosely aligned city states of the period; with their deadly Phalanxes you will need to be smart and act quickly to overcome them.
Egypt represents the Ptolomy Successor state and has spears from their Greek cousins and Axemen from the south as well as chariots. They too will not be a pushover, owning land in much of the Eastern Mediterranean.
Persia represents the Seleucid Empire, they are not much of a threat despite their size as they are surrounded by enemies and have their own internal problems.
The Mauri Empire in India centred around the Indus is growing into a strong Eastern power.
The Chinese states are feuding amongst themselves and are remaining ignorant of anything West of the Himilayers.
